Help Deciding - Explorer or Voyager for Greece Summer 2024

[pasodancer]

Need help deciding.  We are 12-person multi-generational family (ages 6 to 68) cruise to Greece in June 2024.   All experienced RCI cruisers, historically we sail Oasis class ships to Caribbean.  We are 3 Families – we all need 2-bathroom suites as we all have adult children sharing our cabins.  Research has narrowed us down to either Explorer or Voyager as it looks like those are the only ships w/ 2-bathroom cabins.   Right now, we are looking at 2 BR Grand Suites.  Haven’t sailed on those ships yet.  Itineraries are port intensive.  If you had to choose between Explorer or Voyager (or other), which would you choose? 

Sincere “Thank You” for sharing your options.

Posting the itineraries will help....

They are sister ships, so I'd choose based on itinerary and price.

First one has more ports- we'd do that one.  Travelling is a little more complicated, but still doable.
